About the IND

The IND is located at the Mission Bay campus of the University of California San Francisco. Here, a cohesive and interactive group concentrates on research and drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. 


The unique, integrated structure of the IND allows our researchers to work along parallel tracks of discovery, such that advances in one disease area sometimes lead to advances in others. The IND is housed in the Sandler Neurosciences Center, which brings together an unprecedented concentration of researchers focused on developing molecular diagnostics and unique, efficacious treatments for the neurodegenerative diseases.

 

The IND is committed to discovering cures for these debilitating neurodegenerative diseases. We urge you to keep abreast of our work at this exciting time in the history of our program and the field.
